Rod, in all your frothing anger you seem to be handing out homework assignments and demanding answers. Here’s one for you instead: Give us some examples of Senator McConnell accepting an error? Come on, you know he does it all the time.
I DEMAND your answer. Well, you can take your time as I’m going back to basketball. Later.

Fri, 03 May 2013 02:06:35 +0000http://www.mtdemocrat.com/?p=315785#comment-697679well said James. It is illustrative the extent to which speculative fiction is used to criticize the President, instead of what he actually says.

.
.
.
Asked if he bears any blame for the stalemate, Obama said the buck stops at his desk.

“I think that, you know, as president I bear responsibility for everything, to some degree,” he said on CBS’ “60 Minutes.”

Fri, 03 May 2013 01:51:12 +0000http://www.mtdemocrat.com/?p=315785#comment-697675Rod, the president would have said something like:

“The mission failed. I authorized it knowing it was
a high risk mission. I take full responsibility.”

The Commander in Chief, Democrat or Republican, doesn’t weasel on national Special Operations missions that win or lose. If it works, he gets the good, if it fails, he gets the bad. I regret you don’t care for the president — Ojamba is a tell as to your real reasons for your comment.

Yes the liberal majority legislature just passed a bill that has caused whopping new illegal immigration in New Mexico and Tennessee. These states are backpedaling on their stupid law… so Oregon goes full tilt boogie on a known mistake. This should tell you all you need to know about liberalism.

Thu, 02 May 2013 17:54:51 +0000http://www.mtdemocrat.com/?p=315785#comment-697500I got a strange image of Bush buying cocaine from Obama while reading Anthony’s post. I have always believed that the worst decision Reagan ever made was choosing Bush as his running mate. There has never been a fiscal conservative president in my lifetime. Kennedy was assassinated when I was 1 year old. I have no doubt that future historians will view Obama as at least as important a President as Lincoln in our children’s history books.

Thu, 02 May 2013 16:49:00 +0000http://www.mtdemocrat.com/?p=315785#comment-697475As someone who does support the President, I have no hesitation to point out when he is wrong. I need to send a note to the White House to remind the President that he really should stop taking so much credit for the success of the bin Laden mission. Next time, in a similar situation, instead of a 10 minute speech from the White House, he should be more humble and self-effacing with no grandstanding. He should dress up in a spiffy flight suit and swoop onto the deck of an aircraft carrier with a giant MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner. If he does that, then surely no one would accuse him of taking too much credit. Come to think of it, isn’t Abe Lincoln getting way more than his share of the credit for freeing the slaves? I mean after all, what did Lincoln do? He had some meetings, he listened to his advisors and he signed a Presidential order, same as Obama. The slaves freed themselves.

and then give a GO or a NO GO. If he gives a GO and it fails it his failure. If he gives a GO and it is a success, it is his success. It’s a presidential thing.

Thu, 02 May 2013 15:56:02 +0000http://www.mtdemocrat.com/?p=315785#comment-697455Evelyn, on your post about the hidden side of history. Several years ago when my son was a junior in high school his history text book was laying on the table so I decided to thumb thru it. I was astonished to see two pages dedicated to the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings highlighting anita hill and not a single mention of clinton/lewinski. History is decided by those who write it just like elections are decided by those who count the vote. It is why those kids in England were celebrating the death of Margaret Thatcher.

Wed, 01 May 2013 21:35:49 +0000http://www.mtdemocrat.com/?p=315785#comment-697123Anthony, you referenced my April 30, 2013 – 9:40 pm post which concludes, “Proceed with caution.” Thank you, Anthony, for proceeding with caution. The internet is polluting the knowledge data base with fabrications. 9/11-inside job is probably the one “construction” that ACTUALLY KILLS. Among its adherents are some who are motivated to action. They believe deep in their souls that any government so evil as to fly airliners into its own WTC and the Pentagon is deserving of radical action against it. Our knowledge base is under attack. I have heard that within our own schools there are some teachers who affirmatively teach that the Apollo program was a Hollywood production. The majority of Arab Jihadists “know” that the moon landing was faked and 9-11 was an inside job. We are losing the “infowar”.

Wed, 01 May 2013 17:00:07 +0000http://www.mtdemocrat.com/?p=315785#comment-697054Phil Veerkamp, I see that the Saudi story link goes to freerepublic, which sources the story to the British publication Daily Mail online. I will leave it to the readers of this forum to research for themselves the credibility of the Daily Mail online website.. But even the story itself is hypothetical as noted in this sentence “”If true, the account will produce added pressure on the Homeland Security department and the White House to explain their collective inaction after similar warnings were offered about Tsarnaev by the Russian government.””

The original source is anonymous and the publication cannot confirm whether the account is true. The story also points out that DHS completely denies the accuracy of the story. So far, there is no mention of this story at either FOX or the Wall St Journal, two decidedly conservative news sources.

People will believe what they want. Personally I think we should all be most skeptical when we are being told exactly what we want to hear, and be doubly skeptical of an organization’s credibility when they have demonstrated record of being flat out wrong.

The Daily Mail online has such a reputation. Below is a link to a recent example of erroneous reporting where they at least had the class to apologize in print.

They could not get their facts straight on a story where there were no state secrets at stake, and all participants were known by name. Yet we are supposed to believe that their anonymous source and their account is 100% accurate? I don’t think so.

The Daily Mail has a credibility problem. Believe their Saudi story if you like. Personally, I will wait to see it published by an actual news organization, not an entertainment tabloid.

It also reported claims that Mr Schon was a “drunk and abusive man” who had become “increasingly spiteful and vindictive” using his money to bully his ex-wife and that his fiancée Michaele Salahi had turned him against his former wife. We accept that these allegations are untrue and apologise to Mr Schon, Ms Salahi and the family for any distress caused. We have agreed to pay Mr Schon and Michaele damages and legal costs
